Chapter Twenty-Three: Casting Stars
Four o'clock in the morning
β¦β¦
Li Ming left Uncle Carp King's house and went to the 24-hour elf store to buy an elf incubator. It is worth mentioning that most www.biquge.info of the things here need to be authenticated before they can be purchased, otherwise the price will be several times higher.
When he came to the forest, Li Ming found an open space to sit and meditate. When the sun rose, Li Ming asked the elves to come out and sit cross-legged, absorb the so-called purple qi, and then it was a hellish morning exercise.
It wasn't until noon that Li Ming took the four elves who were almost tired into an elf cafeteria. Then he walked out with a big belly and picking his teeth, and the owner of the restaurant saw Li Ming off with a sad face.
"Next, it's time to go to the blacksmith and get the guys!"
Li Ming took back the four elves who were patting their bellies with satisfaction, and walked towards the star-casting blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith shop is still so inconspicuous, sandwiched between tall buildings.
Li Ming walked into the blacksmith shop, and looking at the empty room again, Li Ming opened his throat and shouted, "Is there anyone?" I'm here to pick up somethingβ"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The black-haired and black-eyed girl Zhuxing quickly ran out, and when she saw Li Ming, she said, "Your things are ready, please follow me to the backyard." β
Follow Zhuxing to the backyard of the hut, where there are all kinds of blacksmith tools, and next to a furnace, Li Ming saw two steel rods nearly one meter long, which can obviously be connected.
Cast Star walked up to the steel rod and said, "The size you want is too long, so I'm going to change it, it won't make any difference, and it's more convenient to use." β
Li Ming walked up and connected the steel rod, the one-meter-eight steel rod was a head taller than Li Ming's one-meter-seven body, which looked extremely inconsistent.
Wielded a steel rod, played a set of stick routines that were most familiar in his previous life, and dismantled them into double sticks and tried it, which was quite easy.
"It's not bad, I'll pay the rest of the money now." Li Ming handed the black card to Zhuxing and said.
At this time, the cast star was still in shock and did not come back to his senses. The child in front of him, who looked younger than himself, held a thousand-kilogram steel rod and waved a set of unnoticeable movements.
Seeing that Zhuxing still didn't react, Li Ming raised his voice and said, "It's good, I'll pay now!" β
"Oh......" Zhuxing, who came back to his senses, looked at the black card in Li Ming's hand with bright eyes and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay, there's another one at the workbench, I'll go get it." β
After waiting for two minutes, Zhuxing came back with the Finger Tiger, and she handed the black card to Li Ming along with the Finger Tiger.
Li Ming put it on his hand and tried it, and then took the steel rod and was about to leave.
When Li Ming was about to walk out of the store, Zhuxing stopped Li Ming and said, "That...... One of these two works is called Falling Star, and the other is called Meteor. β
Li Ming was a little strange, why did the girl in front of him suddenly say this to herself.
After carefully looking at the girl, the girl was looking at the steel rod in her hand, and her eyes were full of reluctance.
Li Ming moved the steel rod to the left, and the girl's gaze also moved to the left, and sighed and said, "I will cherish it, falling stars and meteors, right!" β
Zhuxing nodded heavily, then took out a backpack out of nowhere and said to Li Ming: "Okay, I have decided, I want to travel with you, in order to become the number one blacksmith in the world." β
"Huh?" Li Ming felt a little unable to keep up with this girl's thinking, and asked, "What do you mean?" β
Casting Star thought for a moment and said, "This Casting Star Blacksmith Shop, which has been passed down from generation to generation in my family, is famous for its meteorite casting artifacts that can make elves stronger. But meteorites are too rare, and the last bit of meteorite iron powder has been used up, and my father, who went to look for meteorites, has not yet returned, so I have to travel. β
"And then? Why travel with me? β
Li Ming said, "I don't know you, and I'm a man." β
"That's right! You're a man, I'm a woman, and if you're not a man, you should protect the beautiful girl! β
Cast Star nodded.
"Hehehe......" Li Ming said with a dry smile, "I'm sorry, don't look at me like this, in fact, I'm a woman!" You see, Uncle Wang, who is next door to your family, is a reliable man. β
"I don't have the surname Wang next door to my house, anyway, I don't care, if you take my falling star and meteor, I will follow you."
Said like a scoundrel.
"I gave you the money!"
"That's the cost of materials, and now I'm going to add 10 million to the labor cost."
Li Ming asked himself if he had never seen such a reasonable woman, and said helplessly: "Whatever you want, I don't care about the box lunch." β
Zhuxing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my cooking is top-notch." β
In this way, Li Ming inexplicably had an additional companion, and they were leaving Hualan City and heading for Withered Leaf City.
β¦β¦β¦-.-β¦β¦β¦
Because the two steel rods on Li Ming's back were too heavy, the tyrannosaurus protested and refused to fly. Li Ming looked at the map displayed on the illustrated book very depressed, and it was obvious that they were lost.
"Casting Star, didn't you say that you are familiar with the road to Withered Leaf City? Isn't it still lost? Li Ming looked at Zhuxing who was leading the way in front and said.
Casting Star nodded very seriously and said, "Well, we're lost. β
"Lost...... the green tendons on Li Ming's head were trembling, "You dare to be so straightforward when you are lost......"
"Gollum~"
A strange sound came from the star's belly, and she clutched her stomach, her face flushed.
"What's ......," Cast Star said angrily, "People have been helping you all night, what's wrong with being hungry, can't you?" β
Li Ming shrugged, stuck the steel rod behind his back into the ground, and took out the food of the four elves from his backpack, as well as his own canned instant food.
Zhuxing snatched the can in Li Ming's hand, reached out and tasted it, and said, "Have you always eaten such non-nutritious things?" β
Li Ming nodded, took the can back from Zhuxing's hand, swallowed it in his mouth and chewed it.
Zhuxing first glanced at Li Ming like a beggar, and then said, "Wait, I'll make you something delicious." β
Li Ming doesn't think canned food is unpalatable, there are fish, meat and fruits, it's hard to eat? It's hard to eat instant noodles all the time, and you can't even add a root intestine!
β¦β¦β¦-.-β¦β¦β¦
The food made by Zhuxing is indeed delicious, and the amount is large, Li Ming patted his belly with satisfaction, and he silently decided to put Zhuxing in the position of the royal chef.
After gathering navigators, swordsmen, doctors, and craftsmen, you can become a man in One Piece.
After a while, the fog had cleared. Li Ming decided to continue on his way, but this time he was led by the illustrated book.
"Who are you two, and what is the purpose of sneaking into our school?" Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away.
